The approval rating of South Korean President Moon Jae-in has risen to 62% after being evaluated for the new coronavirus, rising to the 60% level for the first time in a year and a half.

On the 24th, the Korean polling organization “Korean Gallup” announced the results of a poll of 1,000 people for three days until the 23rd.

It is the first time in a year and a half that the approval rating of President Moon has risen to the 60% level. On the other hand, 30% of the respondents answered "no support", a decrease of 3 points from last week.

As a reason to support, 55% cite the response to the new coronavirus, and as a result of proceeding with measures such as carrying out about 590,000 PCR tests so far, there are recently 10 new infected people per day. It is evaluated that it has decreased to the front and back.

It is expected that the government administration will proceed.

However, in this opinion poll, 53% of the respondents answered that the outlook for the economy over the coming year will be "worse", and it is urgent how much the impact on the real economy, which becomes noticeable in the future, can be suppressed. It is an issue.
